Chapter 163: Flexible and Smart
Zhao Dayou pretended to be scared and said, "That's too scary. Let's keep our voices down from now on so as not to disturb that person."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, so the toilet must be cleaned every day."
Zhao Dayou responded, "I understand. The person inside will definitely not harm the toilet cleaner. After all, the cleaner is helping her clean the house."
Su Nuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, as long as we are respectful and don't make any noise, she will definitely not harm us."
After saying that, Su Nuan quickly returned to the rest area while chanting "Amitabha".
She could see other people's expressions out of the corner of her eye, which was really wonderful. Most of them were afraid, a few were indifferent, and some of the expressions were very interesting, looking like excitement.
Su Nuan didn't care whether they were seeking death or not. She made a fence with bamboo poles and wood, and tied bed sheets to the two taller bamboo poles, thus forming a simple screen that divided the rest area into two areas for men and women.
The old lady smiled and said, "Isn't this good?"
Su Nuan sat cross-legged, supporting her cheek with her right hand, her face full of depression.
Nothing can be done now. The government should be busy with its own affairs and no one will care about their life or death.
So the days ahead will be boring, everyone is trapped together, not only will there be inconveniences in life, but interpersonal relationships will also become messy.
It is normal to have conflicts at that time, but I don’t know how many days this moment will come.
The days that followed were boring.
On the third day, someone started making a commotion in Xiangyang Village.
A man yelled, "Sun Yuan, we agreed to pawn my wife for six months. Now that you've broken the contract early, you must return all the money to me."
The people in Sifang Village were bored to death, and when they heard such explosive words, they all stretched their necks to look.
Su Nuan was no exception and stood up and looked around.
The old lady stood up slowly, stretched her muscles, and then said, "Tuan Tuan, come on, grandma will take you to see the fun."
Xue frowned and called out, "Mother."
The old lady looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue said aggrievedly, "You won't take me with you?"
The old lady laughed and said, "Let's go."
Su Nuan was speechless. It was indeed human nature to watch the fun, but not every fun could be watched. What if a fight broke out and someone got hurt?
So she followed without hesitation to protect them.
The two people arguing were two men, one had a face as fat as the bottom of a pot, and the other had an average appearance and a slightly dark complexion.
Behind the dark-skinned man was a thin woman, her head lowered so her face couldn't be seen.
The muscular man angrily said, "What compensation do you need? Didn't she pay you for two months? If you don't want to let her go, I'll give you a chance now. Ten kilograms of food and this woman will be all yours."
The dark-skinned man said, "What time is it now? During a famine, human life is worthless. And you still want ten kilograms of food? I don't even have enough to eat myself. Why waste food to buy another mouth?"
He sneered again: "Sun Yuan, now it's you who broke the contract. You can take your wife back. I can't afford to support her, but you must return the money to me."
It turned out that the fat man was called Sun Yuan. He sneered, "Impossible, but I can give you some meat."
"Hey Li Fang, you've already slept enough, and we both have no food, so why not just divide this woman up equally?"
Li Fang shuddered, and glanced back at the woman behind him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Jin, write a letter of divorce."
Sun Yuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Eight pounds, no less. I'll write it if you agree."
Li Fang thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go borrow some food, you write it."
After saying this, he turned around and knelt down in front of another group of people. "Uncles, please gather some food for me. I will definitely be filial to you in the future."
However, the people he called uncles and aunts turned their heads away and didn't look at him, which clearly meant that they didn't want to help.
Su Nuan didn't say anything. Since the other party didn't ask her for help, she just watched the fun.
Seeing them like this, Li Fang's eyes turned cold. "Since you are unwilling to help me, then I will separate from you in the future."
An old man in the group said, "Even if we divide the family property, we need to write a written document to prevent you from disowning us later."
Su Nuan almost laughed out loud. This Li Fang was no fool. Every step he took was calculated by him. Even though he looked so pitiful now, he would definitely be a big figure in the future.
The middle-aged woman next to the old man took out a stack of papers from her arms, flipped through them, and pulled out two sheets.
The old man took it and handed it to Li Fang, "Sign it."
Su Nuan looked at them in shock. What a crazy move! They even wrote the documents for the separation in advance.
Li Fang was not surprised at all. He took it, wrote his name on it, and returned one of them.
He said, "Since we have divided the family, you should store your own share of food, and don't worry about my food."
The middle-aged woman said sarcastically, "Don't bother us. We don't want your little thing."
A young woman next to her said, "He's just being stubborn. He has no food left. If he breaks off the relationship, he'll starve to death."
Su Nuan touched his chin. If Li Fang could solve the problem of breaking up the engagement and his wife, he would be willing to make friends with him. After all, it is better to have a smart and loyal person as a teammate.
Li Fang whispered a few words of comfort to his wife and then walked deeper into the cave.
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Li Fang hid the food next to the coffin? It was safe there, after all, no one dared to check.
After a while, Li Fang came back carrying a bag, which looked to be about forty or fifty kilograms in weight.
But when Li Fang came back, Sun Yuan was not happy. He said in a shameless way, "You still have so much food. No, you have to give me half."
Li Fang didn't say anything. He put the bag down, opened it, and poured all the contents onto the ground.
They were all standing next to the campfire, so everyone could see clearly.
The bag contained mostly thick beef bones, some potatoes and two small bags.
Li Fang picked up the small bag and threw it to Li Fang, "Here, ten kilograms of food. I need the rest to survive."
Sun Yuan was stunned. The bag actually contained beef bones. They were shiny and had no meat at all. Could they be used to make soup to prolong life?
Li Fang urged: "Write it or not, if you don't, forget it."
As he said this, he was about to grab the bag of food.
Sun Yuan quickly pulled Li Fang's hand away, protecting the bag and saying, "I'll write."
Li Fang successfully obtained the divorce certificate and handed it to the woman behind him, "Cousin, you are free."
Su Nuan was stunned. It turned out that she was not his wife, but his cousin. This person was really flexible and smart.
Ling Yun, who had come to watch the fun, noticed that Su Nuan was staring at Li Fang with burning eyes. He thought unhappily, "This little sister-in-law has bad eyesight. That man is not as good-looking as me. What on earth did she see in him?"
